Hello, I think any vnc viewer should work. I use realvnc b/c of its simplicity plus their updates are nice. They have made it a long way from scrap to market place in time.
Seth P.S. Did you ever get your updates to work? If so and if you are updating, did you ever install the xfce4 via apt or apt-get? I installed it and on my BBB, I still needed a tightvncserver install to make the desktop work.
